2019 Nissan Titan problems: recalls, complaints and whether this is a year to avoid
The 2019 Nissan Titan has 49 owner complaints on record with NHTSA, which ranks it 2 of 2 Nissan Titan model years by complaint volume. That is the lowest of any year in the run — the 2018 car has 90. 4 recall entries cover this year.
Which recalls cover the 2019?
Back Over Prevention
Free remedy: Nissan will notify owners in phases, having dealers update the back-up camera settings software, free of charge. The recall began November 11, 2019 and all affected VINs should be activated.
Electrical System
The alternator harness may have been damaged during the engine installation process, possibly resulting in an electrical short.
Free remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the alternator harness for the proper routing and any damage. The harness will be clipped into the correct position or replaced as necessary, free of charge.
Tires
On the affected vehicles, it is possible that one or more tires were cured for too long during tire production.
Free remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the tires, and replace them as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 11, 2021.
Take the campaign number to any franchised Nissan dealer. Recall repairs are free with no mileage or ownership limit, and they follow the car rather than the owner, so a used 2019 with an unrepaired campaign is a free repair you can claim. How recalls work.
